Good addition for the Warriors.Surely he will help to close the gap. Hopefully this will also help to land others. Good job Shaka.

I'll echo that!

How does his game compare to Joplin's?

Similar body types but not sure if it goes farther than that.

Better rebounder, more naturally physical than freshman Jop, better length and raw athleticism. Probably not as good a shooter or finisher. At the most basic, I'd say Jop came in as a more skilled player, Egbuonu comes in with more raw talent.

But will Egbuonu pass on a 3-on-1 fast break?

That's all I need to know.

David Joplin did not have a 7ft 4inch wingspan like Alex has. Alex shot 27% from 3 in one of his leagues - he needs to improve on that.

He said 6'10" in the Dodds interview

Sorry I was thinking Clark - my brain is toast today. Yes 6 10 1/2 for Alex

I think he plays above the rim more and is less afraid of contact than Jop.

 Could be a really big mismatch guy, especially how he plays inside-out now. Not the quickest, but can be a bully like a Bryce Hopkins and looks like hes from a similar mold if the shooting can catch up (and the injuries stay away).

I really like the upside. Also love that he's built already--already has the frame (like Stevens does) and conditioning can go a long way for him
